Fans have likely given up on a Pink Floyd reunion of any sort, so the best bet these days is to catch the band’s members when they do their own thing. Drummer Nick Mason is on the road with a band called Saucerful of Secrets, its name a tip to the era of Floyd music it performs. Don’t go in looking for “Dark Side of the Moon.” Mason and his band focus on the music Floyd made before its gazillion-selling 1973 classic.

Writer Michelle McNamara spent years investigating the crimes of the Golden State Killer, who committed dozens of sexual assaults and 10 murders before disappearing. She died while writing "I'll Be Gone in the Dark," which helped identify a man who in 2018 was arrested and charged with several of the killings. McNamara was married to writer, actor and comedian Patton Oswalt, who is carrying forward her work by appearing at events promoting the book. He'll appear in Houston in a conversation with Michael Hagerty, a senior producer for Houston Matters, discussing the Golden State Killer and McNamara's work in unmasking him.

5. ‘Ripple’ at night

Havel Ruck Project’s “Ripple” is a curious experience event during the daylight — an amusement park of a sculpture cut out of the walls and floors of a Montrose bungalow. But when multimedia artist Allison Hunter layers on colorful video effects with her “Inside/Outside” show, the place comes eerily to life.

When: 7-9 p.m. Friday

Where: 1603 Cherryhurst
